[Alwyn Cherrington]

New to Linux but successfully had Nagios 1.0 running on AIX 4,3 box. 

Running RedHat 8 ( having trouble upgrading to RedHat 9 )

 Configured Nagios 1.2 but get similar eval errors to... any help would be 
appreciated. Thanks in advance


Is there anyway of contacting this user from the email 
nagios-user archive mailing list as to how he resolved 
this problem ...

Strange errors & Error: Could not read host and service 
status information! 
2002-03-06 14:29 
I"m getting the "Error: Could not read host and 
service status
information!" error but I"m unable to figure out where 
it"s coming from.
I"ve gone through all the checks the error page told me 
to go through:

1) Nagios is running, although I had to change the 
syntax in cgi.cfg to:

process_check_command=/services/monitoring/nagios/lib
exec/check_netsaint
-F /services/monitoring/nagios/var/status.log -e 5 -C
/services/monitoring/nagios/bin/nagios
because the defacto command would never find the 
process.

Because check_nagios doesn"t exist, check_netsaint 
was used instead. I
tried to rename check_netsaint to check_nagios, and all 
relovent syntax
and config options, but that didn"t help either.

2) I"ve checked my configuration with -v and there are 
no errors or
warnings.

3) Here is the ./configure output for the various options 
and data
routines:

General Options:
-------------------------
Nagios user: nagios
Nagios group: nagios
Command user: nagios
Command group: ncmd
Embedded Perl: yes, with caching
Install ${prefix}: /services/monitoring/nagios
Lock file: ${prefix}/var/nagios.lock
Init directory: /etc/rc.d/init.d

Web Interface Options:
------------------------
HTML URL: http://localhost/nagios/
CGI URL: http://localhost/cgi-bin/nagios/
Web help: yes
Ping (used by WAP): /bin/ping -n -U -c %d %s
Traceroute (used by WAP): /usr/sbin/traceroute

External Data Routines:
------------------------
Status data: Default (text file)
Object data: Template-based (text file)
Comment data: Default (text file)
Downtime data: Default (text file)
Retention data: Default (text file)
Peformance data: Default (external commands)
Extended info data: Template-based (text file)

The only strange thing is what is listed below... It pops 
up on the
parent window every service check interval. 

Anyone have any ideas?
